hand-signed lithograph by the acclaimed Irish-American artist James Carlin (1906–2005).
Key Features:
Authentication: Hand-signed in pencil by the artist (lower right).
Limited Edition: Numbered 40/595 (a desirable low number).
Presentation: Professionally framed and preserved behind a high-quality mat.
Dimensions:
Visible Art: 24" x 16"
Full Frame: 30" x 22.5"
Condition: This is a vintage piece in good to very good condition. The lithograph itself is vibrant and clean. There is a slight, natural "wave" in the matting (typical for a vintage piece of this age and size), and the solid wood frame shows a few surface scratches consistent with its history. It is sturdy, display-ready, and the professional matting continues to protect the artwork.
Carlin was a legendary figure in the local art scene, serving as the head of the Fine Arts department at the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Arts and residing in nearby Nutley. This specific piece captures a professional bicycle race with the bold, rhythmic lines and "stained-glass" color palette that made his work famous.
